Hi all, I'll be performing at a festival (Singapore Performers' Festival; anyone else here taking part?) this saturday, playing the piano.
I will be playing 2 pieces, and I was wondering what's the proper way to stand at the piano, bow, receive applause at the end of the 1st piece (if any!)... Would someone be so kind as to run through with me the protocol of a performance? I'm really quite clueless. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I won't be holding scores, as the festival requires pianists to perform from memory. |
